LARGO, Fla. – SPCA Tampa Bay is making it easier than ever to give a loving home to a pet in need. From November 15th to 17th, adoption fees are waived for all cats and dogs as part of the Bissell Pet Foundation’s “Empty the Shelters” event.
This special adoption event aims to find homes for the influx of animals that arrived at the shelter following Hurricanes Helene and Milton. With over 160 animals currently in their care, including cats, dogs, and even a variety of other creatures like lizards, hamsters, birds, and rabbits, there’s a perfect companion waiting for everyone.
